We used to go there for bday parties when I was a kid. I remember in the 90′s there was a place there called Fun Factory Pizza… it was similar to Chuckee Cheeses.

Accordingly, they seem to have a difficult time attracting many 'serious' tenants, and their tenants are unwilling to spend much to improve their leasehold estates.

It was the only grocery store on the West side, except for a few small convenience stores attached to gas stations. Back in the late 80s, Buttrey's built the large grocery store that later became the Albertson's across 6th. After they built that new store, they closed their Westgate location.

I went when they had the grand opening for the mall. I remember listening to a rock band and my wife remembers some movie or country western star. I went home with a autographed Loving Spoonful 45 but I doubt that was the band that was there. Whatever was there before the mall left a bunch of bricklined tunnels we used to crawl around in as kids. We would go from there and raft over to the island in the river. Probably risked our lives on a regular basis and did not know any better.

There used to be a little restaurant in there, Fitness Plus, Several clothing stores, bars. A sign/print shop, Identity screen printing started there, a shoe store. There used to be a mini golf/arcade in the big room in the back. The Great Falls Robotics Club has a room with displays in the window. Might not be up now with the fair coming. And don't forget Westgate Barber Shop! Everyone got kicked out about 5-6 years ago because the were (allegedly) going to tear the whole building down and put up a huge sporting goods store- but that deal fell through.
